- Indicator id: `healthy_life_years_at_birth`
- Place id: `mt`
- Unit: years
- Definition: Number of years a newborn can expect to live without an activity limitation due to health problems, if current mortality and current rates of reported limitation persist. Both sexes.
- Note: Combines mortality with the share of people who report being limited for at least six months in activities people usually do because of a health problem (the EU-SILC global activity limitation question). Not the same as the WHO healthy life expectancy (healthy_life_expectancy), which uses a different method. Values depend on how people answer the survey question in each country, so differences between countries partly reflect culture and wording.
